This is the follow-up to Jatayu's battle game. The teams are the same (except he takes my place in Team A) and the idea is the same.
I'm using Discworld (I proposed this as a theme once) as it has hundreds of characters, which we need.

Detritus. A troll and long-standing member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Is extremely stupid, even by troll standards. Possesses a modified siege crossbow but hasn't got the hang of safety catches yet. Even more worryingly, the crossbow shoots in all directions at once and is known for disintegrating anything in its path.
Team B gets an elite samurai and a heavy scorpion.
Teatime, Jonathan. An assassin with no regard for the laws of physics, who gets very tetchy when people pronounce his name wrongly (it's Teh ah TIM eh). Has devised plans to kill the Discworld's equivalents of Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy.
Team A gets a Minamoto with +100 attack.

Vimes, Sir Samuel. Sarcastic and cynical commander of the City Watch. Not the the brightest bulb in the box, but has had an extraordinarily successful career and is now one of the most rich and powerful men in Ankh-Morpork. Despite this however, he still manages to find an excuse for standing around in rusty street armour all day long. Has been taken off the Assassin's Guild list, the only person other than Lord Vetinari to have this honour. Is somewhat disappointed that his many ingenious and sometimes lethal traps will no longer be put to use.
Team B receives a Man-at-arms with +200 health and +30 attack.
Dibbler, Cut-me-own-throat. A notoriously unsuccessful businessman with a habit of investing heavily in businesses likely to accidentally destroy the Discworld, open up a portal to a parallel universe or rip the fabric of time. Whenever this goes horribly wrong, returns to selling foul and indigestible sausages in a bun.
Team A receives a militia and a trade cart.

Hrun the Barbarian. A simple minded but exceptionally tough barbarian hero who has slain various demons and other things. Briefly, he wielded Kring, the highly annoying magical talking sword.
Team A gets an Atilla the Hun.
Battle result to be posted in a day or two.

You very nearly got Lord Vetinari, but I couldn't think of a suitable AoK unit.

Burke. One of the eight personalities of Altogether Andrews, and the one that the others are all terrified of. He has only appeared once, but no one wanted to mention it again afterwards.
Team B gets an elite teutonic knight with +80 attack, and so the battle can finally begin.

As the two rather odd groups approached each other, Detritus was the first to attack. At the sight of his crossbow, Dibbler's cart ran away and Dibbler himself was the first casualty, killed by Sir Samuel Vimes.
The renowned assassin Teatime sneaked up on Detritus however, and killed him with a single blow. At the same time, Xeno began converting Renata Flitworth, who tried to run away.
Hrun the Barbarian and Teatime killed Vimes between them and moved on to Burke. Amazingly, the crossbow fired again despite its owner being dead and the only nearby person being a elderly philosopher, and killed Teatime, while Burke finished off the wounded Hrun.
Dibbler's cart returned to the scene and was pursued by Burke, very slowly. Meanwhile, Renata Flitworth defected to Team A at the suggestion of Xeno.
A clear victory for Team B!
This result was very flukey though, I ran the scenario again a few more times and Team A won all seven times. Victory hinged on how quickly the 200 attack Minamoto was killed.

I'm not sure I completely understand how this works. I read the description in Jatayu's thread, but how are the units chosen, or is that purely up to the facilitator?

It's done randomly (sort of) by me.
